Dear Listees:

Greetings all, and happy Halloween on this day when "the veil between
the real world and spirit world is at its narrowest," as one of my
kooky crystal friends likes to say : ) Happy birthday to Monroe,
North Carolina, "the Halloween Meteorite," 156 years old today and it
doesn't look a day over 120. I wonder if the residents of Monroe, N.C.
thought the impact was some kind of Halloween prank? Anyway, Tucson is
big on parades and weird holidays, so we'll have some fun tonight.

Thanks to all who posted photos and reports of the Munich show. Looks
like a great time. I will have to make it out there one year.

In other news: I have two meteorites and one impact glass specimen from
my collection on Ebay, which I would like to share with you.

(1) Here's something you don't see every day, a fully-oriented "new"
Campo del Cielo, 1,307 grams, dome-shaped and covered in regmaglypts.
Currently at about a penny a gram!

(2) Here's something you *really* don't see every day, an oriented
Sikhote-Alin with, not one, but TWO impact pits! What are the odds of
it getting hit twice?

And finally, a translucent Libyan Desert Glass specimen, 97 grams with
one face covered by those nice "pseudo regmaglypts":

Don't forget to bid! We need to buy candy and cat food : )


Best to all,
